Yeah, but try talking with Concentric about that!! After several emails

support Linux" and that if I was having problems it was up to me to fix
them. Adding nobsdcomp and nodeflate in the options fixed my problem.

fine after that. Looks like a problem in the module. I didn't see any

You probably need to add "append=x,x,x,x" to your /etc/lilo.conf file to force
detection at boot. I believe it's explained in the lilo man pages.

You need to force detection at boot with "append=x,x,x,x," added in your

June,
Try running "locate lilo.conf" and that should find it. Actually, it should be
exactly at /etc/lilo.conf, so if you do "vi /etc/lilo.conf" as root you should
find it. The file is created during your installation, if you said you wanted to
